Sketch two: With Images

For our sketch two, we wanted to move from a defense suit more towards a sensual form. After some testing, we came up with a more sculptural form based on a set of wireframes under the "skin" of the suit. These wires will eventually be able to move depending on a proximity sensor (most likely).


After completing the wireframe, we sewed in the LEDs that are controlled by our home-made touch sensor and programmed Arduino. The lights were sewn in 4 sets up the left arm. When the user touches skin with their hands, the circuit in their gloved hand would be completed and would turn on the lights in in sequence. The lights will then slowly pulse and spread up the arm.
